[osgeo4w-dev] How to log Osgeo4W shell stdout into a txt file?

[Matt Wilkie]

execfile can't take arguments, you need to use /subprocess.call/ instead:

    import subprocess, sys
    subprocess.call([sys.executable, 'apt.py', '2>mylogfile.txt'],
    shell=True)

Be careful though, `shell=True` means you can easily bork your system if 
your command is misconstructed, e.g. `rmdir /s/q C:\Windows` instead of 
`rmdir /s/q C:\temp\Windows` would be disasterous.
